Flood has subsided in many parts of Alcala. But debris in the aftermath of the deluge is slowing down relief operation as inner roads are still not passable. In Jurisdicion village, residents had to walk and meet stranded relief op vehicles for aid. #Cagayan #UlyssesPH

Alcala Mayor Cristina Antonio: 24 out of 25 barangays in our town were flooded, 7 were totally submerged. Some barangays are still isolated, inundated. Humuhupa ang baha pero mabagal #Cagayan #UlyssesPH

Antonio: 4 fatalities in Alcala. 4,630 remain displaced. Hindi pa kasama diyan yung mga kababayan natin na nasa kabahayan nila at binaha at umakyat sa mga bubong as taas ng bahay. #Cagayan #UlyssesPH

Antonio: Noong December 2019, binaha din kami na ang tinatawag ay 100-year flood. May 1% chance na pwedeng mangyari sa 100 years. Nangyari na naman ngayon. In a span of 11 months, may dalawa kaming 100-year flood. #Cagayan #UlyssesPH

Antonio: Nakapaghanda kami sa pagbaha dahil binantayan namin yung warning system namin. As early as Tuesday, nag-evacuate kami. Ang kinagulat namin ‘yung laki at bilis ng pagtaas ng tubig, ‘yung extent ng magnitude #Cagayan #UlyssesPH
